WTB: 24V gauges and senders
If anyone has the instruments and senders left over from a 12V conversion, I would be interested in them. I'm going to experiment in making the originals work in a 12V conversion truck and need some to tinker with. (I've got 12V in it now, but want to retain the original look and lighting)

drove it!
Up 'til now, the only driving was on and off the trailer or turning it around in the drive. After removing all the existing wiring, I put enough temporary wiring in to start, run and charge the battery. Took it out for a little under the radar drive for a few miles. I was expecting slow. I've got th...

Re: hemi engine in 37?
Years ago, I put a Buick 332 in a 28 model A. Had to make a set of headers on the left that wrapped front and under the pan to the right side for steering and starter clearance. Making exhaust is one of those few things I can do if needed. (I couldn't do body eork to save my life. Can put down a goo...

Re: hemi engine in 37?
That looks good! Tight, but doable.
The deciding factor for me in any engine swap possibility is to keep the original trans and location. ( PTO and winch factor )
I've got a 327 Chev and a 260 Ford I could use, but would rather keep a D/C/P engine in a Dodge.

hemi engine in 37?
Has anyone fitted a 50's 241 to 331 hemi into their m37?
Will the flat 6 bellhousing bolt to one?
My neighbor has several good ones I could pick from cheap as he owes me an engine for previous parts swapped from old race cars.

Re: Plans for 2015
In between sailing and maintaining the sailboat, spending time in the recording studio and doing general stuff, I'll completely rewire the truck and complete the 24 line item list of preliminary things to get it on the road nicely. (3 are done, 6 in process at present )

Re: Ready for snow.
Uhm, I guess I have to ask. What is this snow you speak of? Would it hinder my afternoon sailing trip?
Soon as it warms up a bit I'll go do some fiddling on the truck. It is a bit too chilly at 48f right now.

Re: How to letter the truck correctly for...
Thanks so much! His discharge to the reserves from Germany was Nov 1969. We were both very much into motorcycles and that is where our friendship started. He rarely talked about his time in the service, but was proud of it and happy he had served. I learned so much about life in general from him tha...

Re: How to letter the truck correctly for...
I think it was 3rd Armored-7th Army, he wore a Spearhead patch up to the day he died. I got the other info off his DD214 his daughter provided to me. He served in Germany.

Re: Where to get flat headed steel rivets?
Closest I can find from a major supplier in small quantity now. The last decade has been hard on a lot of suppliers. http://m.grainger.com/mobile/search/tubular-and-semi-tubular-rivets/rivets/fasteners/ecatalog/N-8mmZ1z0nn0iZ1z0nn05Z1z0nmzyZ1z0nn0e?navigatingFromPage=%2Fsearch%2Ftubular-and-semi-tub...

Hi just me, I check McMaster (I always do), but no tubular rivets with an oval head......all theirs are countersunk. thanks, bob Odd. Must have stopped stocking them I bought a box years ago from them. Might still have it around somewhere. BTW, they were called escutcheon pins, not rivits when I bo...

Re: m37 hard top
When I get home, I'll shoot some pics of my homemade hard top. Might give you some ideas on a DIY top. That glass top does look like a nice option, however.
